m13
This is my most recent image of M13. It is a globular cluster in the Hercules constellation. It is about 20,000 lightyears away and contains somewhere around 400,000 stars, although I have heard estimates of up to 500,000 stars. It is one of my favorite objects to look at through an eyepiece and it is a relatively easy deep space object to photograph. Even though it is one of the brighter objects in the sky to image it can always can be better with time and patience.
I used a Sony A7RIII camera mounted on an Istar 140mm refractor. I picked the best 22 frames that were 60 second exposures stacked them and post processed them in Astropixelprocessor.
